When you got your name and picture in your local newspaper

was it for something good or something bad?

I was using a snow blower to clear my sidewalk when I was around 12 or 13. I was wearing a ski mask thing which was fully crusted with the blown snow. A guy from the paper was passing by, stopped, took a photo and got my name. Showed up in the evening paper.
@GerOttman That's neat in that people used to look for human interest stories like that...sort of a highlighting of a simple local happening which made you feel good about your neighbors...

@SomeMichGuy it was on the bulletin board in my classroom for a while. Took some teasing on that one..
@GerOttman Well, it was part of the price of fame.

Without my gymnastics and sporting achievements to report (and those of others in our club and school) the local rag would have closed many years earlier than it did 😌🤸‍♀
@SunshineGirl

This is a splendid comment. Why you ask? - - - It's positive and assertive (something not often seen on SW)

Sport and work usually so not bad.

@WowwGirl Very cool, I did a lot of boxing when I was a kid. Didn't fight or anything just to keep fit.

@rinkydinkydoink Routinely made the papers as a kid and teen via sports -- sometimes as a winner, sometimes we lost.

Never happened in my whole life. Either name or picture much less both.

Nothing yet, thankfully.
@SW-User

You're young - there's plenty of time to shine (or misbehave!).

Good. Some athletic achievement.
@Sevendays

As long as you got noticed, ehhhhhhh?!

@rinkydinkydoink there wasn’t name or photo but people knew it was me. Car crash ended up upside down in a river😂
